Every time I try to upload a .jad file to my phone, it pops up the error message 'operation failed' right after getting the file. I know there are a lot of threads already that says to just forget about those files and just upload the .jar instead, but the problem is that some applications DO need the .jad file, as it also sometimes contains parametres that needs to be passed to the program. (JBenchmark is one example, without the .jad, you won't get any animation benchmark and the results display will be 'invisible') So is there any way to do this, or do I have to resort to OTA every time I want to upload a .jad?

as far as i understand it,

java phones (not smartphones) do not support applications requiring the *.jad files. if you run jbenchmark on a t610 you will not get an animation result because the handset does not support this functionality - which in turn makes the overall jenchmark score artificially low. hence the advice "don't worry about the *.jad"

this is one of the limitations of

java implementation. hopefully future handsets will rectify this.

*happy to be corrected here, anyone?*

Java phones should support .jad files, because those files contain the functionality for multiple midlets in one .jar, and also the earlier mentioned parameter storage. My old Siemens M50 supported them, so it just seems strange if the T610 doesn't. Actually, I think it does, but somehow it won't work unless you use OTA transfer.

Maybe what's needed is some tweaking of the .jad content. Does anybody know what internal folder the T610 stores midlets in?

Java MIDP has 2 different ways of getting the extra information into the phone...

The .jad is probably the best way, but there is also a 'manifest' file which is bundled in with the .jar which does pretty much the same as a .jad file.

So for simplicity, many of the 'lower end' java implementations use the less complicated 'manifest' method.
